1.28 Ct. Yellowish Green Peridot from Burma (Myanmar)

One beautiful transparent 1.28 carat cushion shape yellowish green peridot from Burma Myanmar sits at the intersection of lively color and precise cutting, a gem that exemplifies the standards of The Natural Gemstone Company. This stone measures 7.66 x 4.97 x 5.32 mm, and the mixed brilliant cut brings remarkable life to the pavilion and crown, producing a scintillation that reads as bright and cheerful in most lighting. Clarity is graded very slightly included at eye level, which means the gem remains visually eye clean for daily wear while retaining natural character that collectors and connoisseurs value. The color intensity is medium, a balanced tone that allows the gem to command presence without appearing heavy or overly saturated, and the excellent polish ensures smooth facets that deliver crisp reflections. Enhancement status is none, the color and clarity are entirely natural, which adds to the authenticity and long term desirability of this Burmese peridot.

When compared to peridots from other famous locations this Burmese cushion stands apart in hue and tone. Peridots from Zabargad Island also known as St Johns Island in the Red Sea often show a deeper olive green with a slightly more muted tone, and while those stones carry classic heritage appeal, they can appear earthier next to this Burmese example which leans toward a vivid yellowish lime hue and a fresher lively tone. Arizona peridot typically displays a warmer yellow dominant tone that can verge on golden green, and that sun kissed warmth differs from the cleaner lime character of this gem, making the Burma stone a better choice when a crisper green is desired. Peridots from Pakistan and Afghanistan are often prized for strong green saturation and occasionally for a greener tone that pushes away from the yellow, yet some of those examples also carry darker tones that reduce sparkle, whereas the medium intensity of this Burmese peridot preserves brightness and allows the mixed brilliant cut to maximize life and flash. The result is a stone that captures an unmistakable yellowish green personality, a tone that feels contemporarily fresh while remaining unmistakably peridot.

Putting this gem beside other well known green gem species highlights how its hue and tone create a unique offering in the wider market, and why buyers seeking value and individuality will find it compelling. Colombian emeralds present a deep bluish green hue with strong saturation and a darker tone that conveys a very different visual weight and presence, often requiring more careful handling for settings that complement their depth. Tsavorite garnets from East Africa are renowned for intense pure green saturation and a darker, more verdant tone, a look that is vivid but rarely yellow leaning, and those stones are typically higher priced per carat due to rarity. Demantoid garnets from Russia and Namibia offer a grassy green with extraordinary dispersion that can mimic fire, yet their tone often reads more intense and less yellow, and the price per carat reflects their scarcity. Chrome tourmaline and chrome diopside give a dense pure green that is luxurious and bold, yet neither provides the sunny, lemon lime clarity that defines this Burmese peridot. The yellowish green hue of this peridot produces a cheerful brightness on the hand, a tone that pairs well with both warm yellow metals and cooler white metals offering stylistic versatility at a price point that delivers considerable value relative to many deep green gem alternatives.

For the designer buyer or discerning collector The Natural Gemstone Company presents this Burmese peridot as a superior blend of visual appeal, natural provenance, and wearable reliability. The cushion shape combined with a mixed brilliant cut optimizes both face up size and light return, meaning the gem reads larger and livelier beyond what the carat weight alone might suggest. The dimensions of 7.66 x 4.97 x 5.32 mm make this stone particularly well suited for an elegant solitaire ring or as the focal point of a refined pendant, where the eye clean clarity and excellent polish will communicate quality at a glance. No enhancement means the color is stable and intrinsic to the material, a reassuring factor for buyers who prize natural gems. Finally the Burmese origin adds a layer of story and provenance, a geographical identity that distinguishes this peridot from more common sources while maintaining a color personality that is distinct from emeralds, tsavorites, demantoids, and other green stones. For those seeking a bright yellowish green peridot that balances tone, clarity, cut, and value, this 1.28 carat cushion from The Natural Gemstone Company makes a compelling and elegant choice.
